Clematis cartmanii care tips

Clematis cartmanii requires little care once established. Water well during its first year to promote deep rooting, then reduce frequency as it becomes more tolerant of dry conditions. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove old growth. Feeding with a slow release fertiliser in spring will enhance flowering and foliage health, ensuring strong seasonal displays.
